Guidelines for Grading Comprehensive Case Analysis
Student must answer ALL questions at the end of the comprehensive case professionally and substantively.
Student must incorporate material from the text into the response to the questions.
All case analyses must be at least 1.5 pages long, excluding a title page.
Student must demonstrate a complete and total understanding of the case.
Student must use proper citations when answering the questions.
If you have questions or are uncertain how to proceed, please ASK. I will not accept this as an excuse.
Your indication that “ I thought what I presented is what you want.” If you are not sure, ASK
There must be HEADERS placed in the text of the analysis to distinguish the sections of the analysis. This gives the reader an understanding of the flow of ideas, and the direction of the analysis.
Failure to follow any of the above directions will significantly reduce the case analysis grade.
